A Blade Fit For A Champion

Description

I've heard that the Alliance champions are seeking after ancient blades for their warriors. We can't afford to let them have that kind of advantage.

There's an old legend from Grizzly Hills about a maiden cursed with a frog's form to protect the blade she has long guarded. She lives among the lake frogs on the shore of Ashwood Lake, just east of Ashwood Post. The only thing said to break the curse is a kiss, freely given. Apply this balm before kissing anything, <name>. Otherwise, you'll catch warts.

Lake Ashwood is directly south of Camp Oneqwah on the Grizzly Hills map.

The reactions from the frogs to your kissing is quite humorous, as is the discovery of the level 1 elite Maiden of Ashwood Lake.

Don't forget to talk to her before you leave.

I observed a Blood Elf Death Knight do this quest.

She had to kiss a lot of frogs before the princess appeared. Sometimes she would have 3-4 frogs up at once with the "heart" icon above their heads.

This quest requires a lot of patience. I guess you can put it in a macro but thats not the important part. I was able to talk to the princess once the Blood Elf I mentioned above had left. So was this troll hunter able to too.

To reiterate :

Once the princess spawns anyone can talk to her to complete the quest

This quest, along with The Edge Of Winter, and A Worthy Weapon, is one of three weapon-fetching dailies available to Argent Tournament Aspirants and Valiants. Each faction has its own version, though they're identical aside from the specific quest NPC. This particular quest is for Sen'jin Valiants. The other versions are:

So basically I could just spam it constantly without having to retarget the frogs, sped things up quite a bit =)

Make sure you have an open bag slot before starting the quest. The maiden only spawns for a short time. When you talk to her, she'll try to drop the sword into your bag. If you have no space, you won't complete it.

Just use the macro but watch out u dont spam it cuz it has an 5 sec CD

Comment by caboom

You can talk to "a" Lady of the Lake spawned by someone else and complete the quest, without having to go trough kissing all those frogs.

They should've named this quest Frenching with frogs...

The rep reward from this (and other valiant quests) is actually 62 rep with all horde factions other than the one you take the quest with, 250 for the horde faction the quest is from and 250 for the Sunreavers.

For example: If you complete this quest as a valiant of Thunderbluff, you'll receive:

Note that while I did not receive any in-game notification of the rest of the reputation gains, checking my rep bars before and afterwards it is clear that you do actually receive them. Completing all 4 dailies will award you 1000 rep with each of Sunreavers and Thunderbluff and 250 rep with all other horde factions.

Comment by Redeemerljh

That is reputation spill. It works with all Alliance/Horde quests with reputation where you get a small amount of reputation with all other major cities and the full amount for the city of the NPC you are interacting with.

What exactly happens when you don't use the lip balm?

Comment by Feniks9174

I've done this quest several times now and the frog that turns into the maiden is always in the same place.

At the very nothern tip of the lake there will be one, maybe two, frogs sitting closer to the rocks and further from the water than the others. One of these in the maiden. I just completed this quest and can pick the right frog on the first try.

Comment by gotzon

it is possible to get 2 of these quest.

I had this quest from the Magister Edien Sunhollow (right before u get friendly, and move on ur ur faction quest) and i did not turn it in. Then i picked up the same quest from my faction. I went to do the quest and was able to find the npc. then i got the Ashwood Brand and went to turn it in when i turned it in it was done but the Ashwood Brand was gone from my bag so i went to do it again and the Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm was gone from my bag(the one quest took both Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm) so i had to fly back get it again do the quest and turn it in.

Dont let this happen to you, worst 30 mins of my life lol

Comment by dpelfrey

someone might have said it already, but you need to apply the wart-b-gone for the princess to appear. Otherwise your just kissing frogs for no reason. :D

Comment by Rahizzle

Tips.

use this macro and assign it to an easably accessable button. I use "1"

/cast Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm/kiss

Futhermore, this macro can be used in Ghost Wolf Form (Shamans) And i'm presuming it can also be used for Travel Form (Druids)

I am using a simple macro for this quest: all you have to do is move around and click on the macro to have different frogs targeted. NB: the name of the balm can be linked into the macro with Shift+Left Click on the item.

Comment by Gummy

Comment by kesolovac

Need Help!

I'm find the lake but I can't find - I can't see ''stuuuuuuuuuupid'' frog.

Comment by mbarba1118

I have tried doing this quest for over 6 hours, I have kissed somewhere in the area of 60000 frogs and she has not appeared. Has anyone else experienced this? I have applied the balm and verified the coordinates.

If you lucky, there is another player there who found her. Then just talk to her instead of finding her yourself.

Comment by Mavisakal

It's possible to do this quest when you're in a raid group.

I just tried it after the invites for the guild run have been sent and I accepted it and then tried it. I got the quest weapon now.

Comment by Wizgill

Doing this quest with the Creepy Crate out is a very hilarious experience. THat crate is grabbing everything you /kiss.

Comment by DiglettChick

As far as I can tell, this quest is bugged. I'm doing it on 5/26/13, trying to get started with the Argent Tournament to get the mounts and I got this quest.I found the maiden easily, but when I talked to her nothing happened. I didn't get the quest item no matter how many times I tried to talk to her. After a moment, she disappeared, not bothering to give me the quest item.I haven't tried abandoning the quest and picking it back up but that's mostly because it's a long flight back to Icecrown.

Kissed one frog and there she was. Kinda disappointed... had my macro all set up and everything.
